Thinking for Tomorrow
Everyone, when we were children, had a goal or a "dream" about what we wanted to be tomorrow, those kinds of dreams gave us the energy to continue fighting day by day. Sometimes the way to success may be hard, but in the end, as soon as it can be, we will be in the place where we wanted to be. Of course, it will happen if we don´t surrender; and this is one of the secrets of success: Never give up!, If you fall 100 times, get up 100 times. If life hits you, don´t give up, and keep going in the fight. Your fight. Sometimes obstacles in life may be the bad opinion of people, and sometimes it gives us a sudden "end" in ours plans. It does not matter! If we know what we want and how we are going to make it, we don´t have to think about what people say about our lives or ideas. The worst obstacle for us is our own opinion. This is the worst obstacle to find ours goals, because we don´t believe in ourselves. We have to trust in ourselves and keep working for our future.
So, those words can tell you what we are going to talk about this week , and it is about "goals", share in the comments (in general) about your goals from short to long term, and how you want to reach them. (Required, use 2 or more phrases of discourse markers)
In my case, I want to finish the university to continue studying a master´s degree and later try to find a job that doesn´t have relation with Telecommunications.
To do it, I´m going to get better scores to get a scholarship in another country like Japan, because I think that it is a good place to continue studying. In fact, I think that this culture can teach us good things. As I was saying, later I want to create a business or try to find a job that I like.

It sounds great!

Music is the art of combining diferent sounds. Everyone listens to music, but sometimes some songs are special either for the lyrics or for the rhythm.
Some lyrics try to express diferent situations about experiences of life; some refer to diferent feelings like love, hate, sadness, happiness, etc . Other lyrics don´t have any meaning and just try give more rhythm to the song; On the other hand,, the rhythm is very important to make a great song too; the different instruments and melodies can play an important rol in the production of music.
The criterion to decide what song could be the best depends on each one.
For me, my favorite song could be "Ordinary World" of "Duran Duran" because I like the rhythm and I think that the lyric is great too.
So share in the comments what is your favorite song and why.
